Yeah, I don't doubt someone is like that … I'd just rather it be automatic.
> My recent motherboards all seem to have a pretty nice fan configuration tool.
Mine has a "flashy" tool, I would say. Certainly looks pretty, but again, it's all constant RPM options.
As I lament in the other thread, this is something that would differentiate boards at time of purchase, but no mobo manufacturers marketing dept. seems to have it's shit together enough to get such a differentiation across to the consumer. Instead the focus seems to be completely on the aesthetics of how the board looks.
And again, I've chalked this up to having chosen poorly. But there-in is the problem: assuming I chose poorly, assuming some mobos do support sane defaults/fetures … how do I end up finding and purchasing one of those? Any knowledge I acquire during a purchase is useless the next time around, given the constant product churn HW manufacturers nonsensically do.
